There’s something about The Fine Art of Bullshitting

I was in this utterly boring beneficial career workshop a couple of weeks ago. During the few moments when I was triumphant in my fight against the Zzzz Monster, I think I actually managed to grasp what the lecturers were trying to say about interviews: Always stress about how good you are.

That sounds deceptively simple, especially if you are a high-flying dean lister (I have a 4000cc brain!) with stellar co-curricular records (I won the US Open the other day!). I’m in a perpetual state of depression because while there are too many overachievers in the uni, I am perpetually under-achieving.

For slacking bums like me, my wise lecturers have this follow up: If you have nothing good to say, then stress about how good your bad points are.

I shall valiantly give their suggestion a try:


I am very involved in social and community work. That is, I always part with 5 cents to drive away the pesky flag-sellers on weekends.

My hobbies include wine appreciation. That is, I drink beer a lot.

I am in tune with the latest happenings in the IT industry. That is, I spend my weekends on computer games and bargain hunting in Sim Lim.

I read the latest periodicals. That is, those ‘man-entertainment’ magazines.

I dare to take calculated risk. That is, I buy 4D.

I am very active in sports. That is, I watch ESPN frequently.

I am experienced in event management. That is, I organize the mahjong gatherings for my kakis.

I am able to work well independently. That is, I am anti-social.

I am able to work well in groups. That is, I leech on my project-mates well.

I am make use of all available resources. That is, I will bring the office stationery home.

I multi-task well. That is, I always procrastinate on my work, and the projects just keep piling up.

I like to communicate. That is, I spend too much time chatting on MSN.

I have great dreams and ambitions. That is, I would like to take over your job someday.

I am plan my finances carefully. That is, I am stingy.

I am a generous person. That is, I am a spendthrift.

I am a fan of the fine arts. That is, the fine art of bullshitting.


I'll like to stress the above points are not about me. I mean, I've never heard of any dinos who drinks, steals stationery, and plays 4D and mahjong.
